Etsy - 25% off for Spring

Well, my Etsy shop is on "vacation mode" no longer. After 6 months of maternity leave, I finally got around to adding 20 tile plaques last week. So, to celebrate Spring and this re-opening, I am offering 25% off your purchase now through April 30. Just use Coupon Code: SPRING2011

Enjoy!

Fused Glass Pendants - now on Etsy

Just listed 17 new Fused Glass Pendants in my online Etsy shop-Meagan Chaney Studios!
Each glass pendant I create is handmade from start to finish.

They begin as colorful sheets of glass and go through a series of firings in an electric kiln before they are shaped and polished.

Each pendant is then wrapped in sterling silver wire to complete and embellish the piece. Prices range from $18-$25 each plus $5 domestic shipping.

AND After receiving a message from a reader in the UK (Thanks Sue!) I've added International shipping. For more information about my this process, check out this link- http://www.clayandglassblog.com/search/label/Fused-Glass

Check it out! And Thank you for reading and following along.

Cheers!

Almost Finished and Etsy finds

Just need to glue the fused glass cabochons into place and this batch of Mini Sculptures will be ready to go!

Meanwhile, I was inspired by Jan, a fellow blogger over at ...in my spare time, to do an Etsy search based on keyword. Jan has a fabulous Saturday Shopping List that she puts together that full of fun, creative works all found through keyword searches. Here's what I found under "sea urchins"

Element Clay Studio/Heather Knight, porcelain; Jennski, archival digital print; parisottodesign, 18K gold earrings; Happy Goat Soap, handmade soap.

Online Artwork Shopping

Just added to my online Etsy store... 12 new ceramic sculptures. These are 12 of the 18 art works currently installed at the Appleton Museum. They are available for sale now and will be shipped after the exhibition closes on July 5thMy current work explores and celebrates the city garden and our urban scenery. The goal is to stylize botanical forms by creating simplified shapes that reflect the organization of a planned city landscape.

These nature-inspired ceramic wall sculpture are all one-of-a-kind. Each organic-shaped piece is individually made from slabs of earthenware clay and low fired to cone 04. The glazes are hand mixed and each color is carefully applied with a brush. A wash of red iron oxide gives the piece added depth and dimension.

A paper template indicating the screw/nails positions is included for easy installation.

Now on Etsy!

Well, I finally did it! I took the Etsy plunge! My online shop has been sitting vacant since August, and it feels great to finally have items there for sale. So far, I've listed a few of the Tile Plaques and Minis that just came out of the kiln. Hopefully I'll have even more work finished up this week and listed by next Wednesday. Wow! It feels great to check that off my To Do list! (Of course there's still tweeking, fine tuning, and updating to do, but I took that first step!) Thank you to everyone who gave me advice while I was setting up my shop. Any other feedback anyone? For those of you on Etsy, how has it been working for you?

Making Progress,
Meagan
